Traditional false data injection (FDI) attacks against control system mainly require the attackers to obtain the optimal maliciousinputs. Different from the traditional FDI attacks, we present false seque...

Internet-facing_PLCs_as_a_network_backdoor.txt
Industrial control systems (ICS) are integral com ponents of production and control processes. Our modern infras tructure heavily relies on them. Unfortunately, from a security perspective, thousands of PLCs are deployed in an Internet-facing fashion. Security features are largely absent in PLCs. If they are present ...

The_Cybersecurity_Landscape_in_Industrial_Control_Systems.txt
|Industrial control systems (ICSs) are transition- ing from legacy-electromechanical-based systems to modern information and communication technology (ICT)-based sys-tems creating a close coupling between cyber and physicalcomponents. In this paper, we explore the ICS cybersecuritylandscape including: 1) the key princi...

In this paper, we take the attack approach intro- duced in our previous work [8] one more step in the direction of exploiting PLCs of ine, and extend our experiments to cover the latest and most secured Siemens PLCs line i.e. S7-1500 CPUs. The attack scenario conducted in this work aims at confusing the behavior of the...

FedTIU_Securing_Virtualized_PLCs_Against_DDoS_Attacks_Using_a_Federated_Learning_Enabled_Threat_Intelligence_Unit.txt
Conventional Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) systems are becoming increasingly challenging to manage due to hardware and software dependencies. Moreover, the number and size of conventional PLCs on factory oors continue to increase, and virtualized PLC (vPLC) offers a solution to address these challenges. The util...
